and 6, this means is shown as a spring latch formed from a bent tongue 15, the bend of Whioh is adapted to enter a socket or hole 16 in the handle 2, and be caught and held there in by a lug 17 in said socket entering a socket or hole in the Longue 15. The outer endof said tongue extends beyond the socket .16, to enable the tongue to be readil and instantly released, and the holder 4 removed.

The holder 4 is provided With out wardlyj extending side flanges 18, the bends or-con- "hections"of said fianges"corresponding to or '-the edges of the blade but near enough to the parallel v vith the edges of the blade, but extndihggnot uite to said edges, so that there will*b'e'enoug of the edges to cut with. Thef outer edges of the flanges 18 eXtend beyond plane of the s'ameto'serxre as sufficient-szifety guards during the use of the 1*azor. In order to prevent the collection of soap and lather in the bond of the flanges 1S, said bends are slotted at 19, so 'that the lather will 'pass throu'ghsaid slotsto the back 20 of holder ,4.

Theslotsl19 'can extend aln1ost the entire length of the flanges 18,"it being necessary only to have enough inaterial to prevent a complote separation of the fianges, and to retain thenrt0 the holdefi In order that the holder 4 be eficient as a clamp or holder of the blade, it need be pressed against'the surface 5 of the:holder only neaLr'it-s edges, If

-- the main portion of the holder 4 be sprung up,

as shown-il1 Fig. 8,the bond Of'the flanges 18 -need only to:bear against the blide, and the blade.will b tightly held,fiand' more uniformly thari if the holder was fiat and rested on the;surface of the bla;de

Instad' of a -spring latch for securing the blad holder, I may have an ordinary 'tongue 21eXtending from the holder 4, (see Fig. 9)

and s'ecure said tngue to the handle or blade support by'means ofa thurhb-screw 22 passthe joint at thisdpivot be tight enough to parts in the positions in retain the pivote Which they are turned, until they are turned again. v v

My invention provides a safety razor of the greatest efficiehcy 'andwith all the require' monts, and With the fewest possible parts:

There need be only three parts, viz: the

support with handle, the blade, and the" clamping holder. The arts can be instantly separated and as quic yassembl ed; and by reltively to its support.

ort can be as readii' put into p ace,xby

T0 preVent the sorew 22 from be reason of the arched shouiders of the sup; port, and the'corresponding arched ends of the blades,;and when one of thelatter-is 'dr0pped in place With its ends abutting against the arched shoulde1s of thesuppprt,

the blade will lia eaken its properPosit1on,

and. be prevent 0111 lateral moeihent 1rst inserting one end undr the overhanging flange, and then pressing downthe latch. B""pressixlg back said.

until it is caught. latc h, the holder can be immdiately lifted fro m theblade, and the ,blade can be thon liited away from its S1ipport,or-allowed to drop from the support, by turning it u side down. The' blades can be readi y sharpenedg but they can be made so cheaply, that it Would Piobabl'y be more satisfactory to replace. a b ade when it becomes d1ill, by

The clam ed supa new.one.,Theblads haveno notches, recsses or angles to catch and collect lather and nioisture, and therefore'ca be instantly cieanedmd dried and prevented from rusfiing. Tiie jlathe1, during the process ofshav ing with my improved razor, Will n0t accu mulate on and near the edge of the blade, and

impair ifs eflicienC (as is especially apt t0 be the case With razors having a faire formed guard); but Will p ss -directly through the" long Open passages or slots, to the back of the holder, -aiidit Will be seen that there are moistuie and lather, and to dause rust either on or in the support .or the-holder, and that every, part of the razor is readily accessible,

and cah be easily Cleand and wiped.

'I 'do not' limitinself to the precise oon no s'ockets, re cesses oi:sniall angles to collect structionShoWn and described, as changes" may be inade therein "without departihg from the spirit of 1i 1y invention.
